Why do people say they made "homemade this or homemade that"?

Would still be homemade.

If you claim to have 'made' such cookies (or even buy them in the first place), then you are worse than a lunch thief.

Maybe I'm autistic? Maybe I'm pedantic? Maybe I'm both. Why the need to specify where you make your enchiladas? Unlike being told I'm going to burn in hell this really triggers me.

Avatar vehemently checks out.
Interesting topic. I prefer the term "from scratch" it encompasses homemade without the guesswork of whether or not it is from a box or you made the food from the raw ingredient and into the toilet bowl.

This is the reason baking mixes still required an egg, despite eggs being easily powdered into the mix.

I don't know if you've noticed but English has all kinds of phrases that don't literally mean what they should.
Anyone ever told you it's raining cats and dogs? Break a leg? Feeling under the weather? Costs an arm and a leg? Piece of cake? Steal someone's thunder?
Someone slightly exaggerating the precise definition of homemade is barely anything compared to many other bizarre English phrases.

Not to mention making something “from scratch” that OP mentioned as being a better term is a phrase originally used for the stating line of a race.

People are more inclined to enjoy Homemade food. Even if all you did was compile premade ingredients at home.
You should have just asked are the tortilla's homemade? Did you grind your own flour? Grow the tomatoes and onions? What about the cheese you make your own?

"I make great enchiladas" vs "I make great enchiladas at home" unless your job is that of a cook explain it to me like I'm 5.

Oi! I wouldn't go that far, Taco Bell but enjoyable trash, these packs though, when you're high AF at like 3am and just have stuff to throw together easy, this shit goes hard.

I'm obviously no native speaker but "home made" to me always signifies that a substantial part of the dish was made from scratch by the person (within reason).
If you tell me you made home made pasta I assume it means you mixed together the flour, eggs, salt, oil, etc.
I don't assume you harvested your own wheats and made your own flour from it. But there's clearly a difference between mixing together your pasta from basic ingredientes vs just boiling some water and adding some pre made dry Barilla pasta.

My lovely neighbors sometimes give me homemade bread, pizza and apple crumble.
There's something about it that immediately hits the pleasure centre like no store bought food does.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
We've come to the point in the US where the overwhelming majority of people are eating some form of either processed food or some type of restaurant/delivery at nearly every meal. Using the phrase "homemade" is just a way to differentiate the meal you had from something obtained in the freezer isle, from Door Dash, arrived in a box from Hello Fresh, or bought from Taco Bell.

Yeah! Also, where did he get the seeds for the basil and tomatoes?

Given the recent development maybe we should say food was assembled at home, instead of homemade. Homemade must mean you turned flour to dough, grow your own food and have cows and chickens for milk and eggs. Assembled at home means you went to the grocery and got some stuff you combined for a meal.

This has gotten way out of hand.
If you can, for instance, use store bought ingredients to make your own pasta and sauce, that should reasonably qualify as homemade.

I still want to know about our friend's great enchiladas that they make at home vs the enchiladas that they make somewhere else that are possibly not great? So many questions

I demand you grow the tomatoes and basil and have your own salt mine.

I get that. It just irks me to no end. Of course it's homemade you made it at home
